Originally established as the Wake Forest Intellectual Property Law Journal in 2001, the new focus and form of the Journal, adopted in 2010, provides a forum for the exploration of business law and intellectual property issues generally, as well as the points of intersection between the two, primarily through the publication of legal scholarship. The Journal publishes four print issues annually. Additionally, the Journal sponsors an annual symposium dedicated to the implications of intellectual property law in a specific context. In 2009, the Journal launched an academic blog for the advancement of professional discourse on relevant issues, with content generated by both staff members and practitioners, which is open to comment from the legal community. The Journal’s student staff members are selected for membership based upon academic achievement, performance in an annual writing competition, or extensive experience in the fields of business or intellectual property. The Journal invites the submission of legal scholarship in the form of articles, notes, comments, and empirical studies for publication in the Journal’s published print issues. Submissions are reviewed by the Manuscripts Editor, and decisions to extend offers of publication are made by the Board of Editors in conjunction with the Board of Advisors and the Faculty Advisors. The Board of Editors works closely and collaboratively with authors to prepare pieces for publication. Manuscript submissions should be accompanied by a cover letter and curriculum vitae, and may be sent electronically to [email protected] or by mail to: Manuscripts Editor Wake Forest Journal of Business and Intellectual Property Law Wake Forest University School of Law P.O.

[VOL. 14 BUS. & INTELL. PROP. L. ABSTRACT The Basel III framework represents a sea change in the banking industry in terms of the capital charges and liquidity requirements that banks will face. In order to respond to these new regulatory challenges, banks must adapt their decision-making paradigm in a strategic way that responds to the new rules and allows them to remain competitive. This framework, however, is a complex mosaic of consultative documents, incremental enhancements, revisions to those documents, academic research studies, and other references. With the publication of the revised Basel III capital rules in June 2011, the United States capital rules in June 2012, and the Basel III liquidity rules in January 2013, the major regulatory pieces are now in place, and the new banking regime is coming into focus. This Article synthesizes the relevant documents and explains their importance within the broader regulatory framework. 2013] [BASEL III AND THE NEW 7 U.S. BANKING REGULATIONS] I. INTRODUCTION The United States banking agencies have recently begun implementing the most sweeping reforms of U.S. banking law since the introduction of risk-based capital adequacy requirements in 1989.1 Now, as then, U.S. banking agencies are implementing much of the Basel framework, and the changes to U.S. banking law will be far- reaching: the re-definition of regulatory capital, the introduction of risk-based capital adequacy tests, a modification of the leverage ratio, and the introduction of liquidity requirements.

Monetizing Infringement Kristelia García* The deterrence of copyright infringement and the evils of piracy have long been an axiomatic focus of both legislators and scholars. The conventional view is that infringement must be curbed and/or punished in order for copyright to fulfill its purported goals of incentivizing creation and ensuring access to works. This Essay proves this view false by demonstrating that some rightsholders don’t merely tolerate, but actually encourage infringement, both explicitly and implicitly, in a variety of different situations and for one common reason: they benefit from it.

  • Chapter 1: Synthesis
    7 | SYNTHESIS CHAPTER 1. SYNTHESIS This chapter provides the rationale and context for Enquiries into Intellectual Property’s Economic Impact and highlights its most significant findings. In doing so, the chapter presents the major themes of the overall report, which are 1) the importance of various types of intellectual property as sources of growth and innovation in today’s economies; and 2) the effects on IP systems and stakeholders of major developments such as content digitisation, the growth of the Internet, and globalisation. The statistical data for Israel are supplied by and under the responsibility of the relevant Israeli authorities or third party. The use of such data by the OECD is without prejudice to the status of the Golan Heights, East Jerusalem and Israeli settlements in the West Bank under the terms of international law. It should be noted that statistical data on Israeli patents and trademarks are supplied by the patent and trademark offices of the relevant countries. ENQUIRIES INTO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY'S ECONOMIC IMPACT © OECD 2015 8 | SYNTHESIS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Key challenges • Copyright appears to be the type of IP that has been attracting business investment at the highest growth rate and it is undergoing statutory review in many countries, yet there are fewer empirical studies about copyright than about patents. Encouraging and enabling the collection and availability of more data on copyright would facilitate data-driven copyright policy. In fact, robust evidence on the use of IP rights generally and on their economic and social impacts is essential for sound IP systems. Presently, however, relatively little concrete evidence is available to support the common assumption that IP rights encourage greater innovation and creativity.

Title. KF2994.B45 2014 346.7304’82--dc23 2014005816 COPYRIGHT NOTE Not long ago, in “Five Reforms for Copyright” (chapter 7 of Copyright Unbalanced: From Incentive to Excess, published by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University in 2012), I suggested that the United States should return to the kind of copyright the Founders supported: the one they created in their 1790 Copyright Act. The Founders’ copyright had a term of only fourteen years with the option to renew for another fourteen. It conditioned copyright on the satisfaction of strict statutory formali- ties and covered only maps, charts, and books. The Founders’ copyright protected only against unauthorized reproductions and offered only com- paratively limited remedies. This book follows through on that policy advice. The Mercatus Center and I agreed to publish it under terms chosen to recreate the legal effect of the Founders’ 1790 Copyright Act. For example, the book’s copy- right will expire in 2042 (if not before), and you should feel free to make a movie or other derivative work at any time.

  • New Copyright Law of Poland Analysis of Library-Related Provisions
    NEW COPYRIGHT LAW OF POLAND ANALYSIS OF LIBRARY-RELATED PROVISIONS Act No. 83 of February 4, 1994, on Copyright and Neighboring Rights (as amended up to May 20, 2016) Written by Barbara Szczepańska Edited by Teresa Hackett and Barbara Szczepańska August 2016 On 20 November 2015, Poland’s new copyright law entered into force bringing library services in Poland into the twenty-first century. This document sets out to analyze the key amendments related to libraries. The centrepiece for libraries of the new legislation are provisions that enable digitization for socially beneficial purposes, such as education and preservation of cultural heritage. The new law also implements two important European Union Directives, the Directive on orphan works and the Directive on public lending right. The Polish copyright reform process, which began in 2012, was characterized by its transparency and multi-stakeholder engagement. The library community participated for the first time in high-level policy discussions on copyright, and librarians became recognized as important stakeholders in a national reform process. While it is early days to assess the impact of the new legislation, and some practical processes have yet to be put in place, the library community is working hard to raise awareness and train librarians on what the changes will mean for library activities and services in Poland. We hope that this document serves as a useful analysis for librarians and policy-makers involved in copyright law reform around the world. Copyright reform in Poland EIFL provided assistance from 2012-2016 to ‘Copyright reform in Poland’, a project to support libraries and the national copyright reform process.
